Quick Time – Leon Jimenez Natural Robusto

Looking for a smoke to unwind with last night, I perused my desktop humidor to see what I had in there that I hadn’t smoked in awhile.  My fingers brushed this Leon Jimenez and I vaguely remembered smoking a few before and that they were decent cigars.  Now, it had been quite a few months, so I figured it was time to try another.  And I’m glad I did.

The cedar scent of the Connecticut broadleaf wrapper was reminiscent, and smelled like all Connecticut wrapper does to me.  Upon lighting with some wooden matches, the first thing that struck me was the color of the ash.  It was completely white!  It never turned gray.  The burn remained perfectly crisp the whole time and the draw was perfect.  A mild spiciness was layered beneath a woody flavor that was light and sweet.  And this cigar was mild.

All in all, I enjoyed this and could see myself smoking this on a cool summer morning with some coffee.  The construction and burn was quite impressive, and, I must say, was not expected from this line.  Like I said, this cigar was mild, which usually isn’t what I reach for, but this provided plenty of flavor and satisfaction.
